Climate Hawks Vote (CHV), the first organization to call for a federal investigation of ExxonMobil for its history of climate deceit, is part of a broad coalition delivering over 350,000 signatures to the Department of Justice today. Brad Johnson, CHV national political director, will be speaking at the delivery event.

“The campaign to prosecute Exxon’s climate deception could be the climate movement’s next big win after our Keystone XL victory,” said Brad Johnson. “Climate Hawks Vote is committed to leading the fight to bring Exxon to justice.”

"All fifty states are now suffering damages from Exxon Mobil's greenhouse pollution, from sea level rise to wildfires, floods, and drought,” said RL Miller, President of Climate Hawks Vote. “The Department of Justice must investigate Exxon knew and what Exxon did, and then prosecute Exxon's deliberate climate denial. If Attorney General Loretta Lynch fails to act, then our state attorneys general must step up to protect the American people."
